Barbara Walters' 2013 list of the "Most Fascinating People of the Year" is just as varied as it's ever been -- but who will be No. 1?

ABC announced Walters' 10 most fascinating people this year include "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" actress Jennifer Lawrence, twerking pop star Miley Cyrus, NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, "Good Morning America" anchor Robin Roberts and KimYe, the celebrity couple of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. Even royal baby Prince George, the first child of Kate Middleton and Prince William, made the cut despite being less than 6 months old.

The cast of "Duck Dynasty," A&E's reality show about the Robertson family that runs the duck call fabrication business, will also be featured on the annual television special. "Duck Dynasty" has exploded in popularity this past year, becoming the highest rated nonfiction series in cable history with 11.8 million viewers for the fourth season premiere in August, and even expanded to a Christmas album ("Duck the Halls") this holiday season.

But who will be named the single most fascinating person of 2013? Walters won't reveal that until the 90-minute program airs on Wednesday, Dec. 18, at 9:30 p.m. on ABC.

Walters is also expected to take a look back at her past 20 years of "Most Fascinating People," which began in 1993. Gen. David Petraeus topped the list last year and in 2010.

According to ABC, this year's TV special will be Walters' last. The 84-year-old host of "The View" announced earlier this year that she'd be retiring from broadcasting next year.
